Traditional surveillance tracks known diseases. TreeScan looks for the unexpected. During the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup, epiENGAGE @UTPandemics & public health partners used TreeScan to scan ER data for unusual clusters, helping detect emerging health threats...👉epiengage.org/projects/trees…

Tracking COVID dynamics & population immunity. Our projections for BA.1, BA.4 & BA.5 suggest that higher levels of SARS-Cov-2 booster uptake in mid 2022 would've averted thousands of deaths in the US. @meyerslab @UTPandemics @AnassBouchnita @FoxandtheFlu doi.org/10.1016/j.epidem.202…
In this @NewYorker post, @UTAustin modeling team (@meyerslab, @UTPandemics) was mentioned as having played a pivotal role in pandemic response and their innovative use of cell-phone data to track mobility patterns captured dynamic shifts in human behavior.
